About Leah

Hello! My name is Leah and I am a certified elementary school teacher having taught first grade for the past 8 years. I also recently got my Master's degree in Literacy and have my Reading Specialist certification through the state of New Jersey. Lastly, I also got trained and am certified in the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading and writing through the Institute for Multi-sensory Education (IMSE). I am passionate about teaching literacy and helping students become confident, proficient readers and writers! Through my Master's degree program, I tutored a child one-on-one, in which I conducted a full panel of literacy assessments in order to pinpoint the child's literacy strengths and areas for improvement. Using the assessment data, I developed and implemented an individualized remediation plan to target the child's needs. My summer availability is Monday-Friday and afternoons/evenings during the school year. I look forward to hearing from you!
